A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

The composite system of multiple transition metal sulfides was constructed by compounding multiple components, which formed abundant heterogeneous interfaces and polarization sites and promoted ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Electromagnetic self-duality is one of the most fundamental symmetries of free-space. While in condensed matter ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

Scientists report a new method that achieves for the first time valley polarization in centrosymmetric bulk materials in a non-material-specific way. This 'universal technique' may have major ...

Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, polarization is key for future ...
